NOTICE OF AVAILABILITY
OF THE REVISED PRESIDING MEMBER'S PROPOSED DECISION

The Committee issued the Revised Presiding Member's Proposed Decision (RPMPD) for the Morro Bay Power Plant Project on November 21, 2003. Copies of the RPMPD were sent to the Proof of Service List and are also available from the Energy Commission's Publications Unit, 1516 Ninth Street, MS-13, Sacramento, CA 95814. For a printed copy, call the Publications Unit at 916-654-5200 and ask for Publication No. P800-03-018. The RPMPD may also be viewed on the Commission's Internet Web Site at:

Members of the public and governmental agencies may submit written comments on the RPMPD. The public comment period ends December 16, 2003. Twelve copies of all comments must be received no later than 3 p.m. on December 16, 2003, by the Energy Commission's Docket Unit, MS-4, 1516 Ninth Street, Sacramento, CA 95814. Identify all comments with "Docket No. 00-AFC-12."

The Energy Commission will conduct a future hearing to consider whether the Commission should adopt the RPMPD as its final Decision in this case. Members of the public will be invited to participate and to offer comments at a hearing which will take place after the Central Coast Regional Water Quality Control Board considers the water permit for the Morro Bay Project. A separate notice will be publicized prior to the Commission hearing, tentatively scheduled to take place during the first quarter of 2004.

Information concerning the status of the project, as well as notices and other relevant documents, is also available on the Energy Commission's Internet home page at:
